When you think funny, you probably don’t think to yourself "Day of Atonement". But just in case you want to sneak a laugh somewhere between pounding your chest and dealing with caffeine withdrawal, here are 3 things to help.

2. Tim & Eric are going on tour. They’re taking Neil Hamburger with them. That is several levels of awesome.

The events have great names like "An Evening of Comedy From 1986" and "Mike Birbiglia Interviews a Bunch of Sort of Authors and Sarah Vowell". David Cross, Hannibal Buress, Gabe Liedman, and about twenty other comedians we love will be making appearances. No word if any of them will be fasting.
